Introduction
Standard Non-Aseptic BIB bags represent the majority of Bag-in-Box packaging used globally. These bags are manufactured under high-hygiene but non-sterile conditions, designed for products that are microbiologically stable (e.g., high alcohol, high sugar, or high acid) or those requiring cold chain distribution. Suzhou Jingle Packaging offers these standard bags in various non-barrier (simple PE) or moderate barrier (Metallized PET or basic EVOH) film structures, balancing cost with required shelf life.
This format provides a flexible, lightweight, and economical alternative to rigid containers.

FAQ
- Q: Can a standard non-aseptic bag be used for long ambient shelf life?
- A: Only if it includes a high-barrier film (Foil or EVOH) AND the product is microbiologically stable. Simple PE bags are limited to refrigerated or short ambient life.
- Q: Is there a risk of contamination during non-aseptic filling?
- A: There is always a higher risk than aseptic. Proper CIPof the filler, a clean environment, and product stability are crucial to minimize this risk.
- Q: Is a standard bag recyclable?
- A: This depends on the film structure. Simple PE is often recyclable, but multi-layer barrier films typically are not.
